Low charge to no charge issue pulling hair out
Ok after extensive searching and literally unraveling the electrical tape from the entire charging system circuit i found the god damn culprit and some other unrelated deplorable attachments. Unreal someone would do this instead of purchasing a new connecting harness like why!? The alternator output or “black cable” was not a solid run but was married together with a butt connector about halfway im engine bay before the bulk head connector obviously it being covered with electrical tape hid the problem. After everything checked out over and over the only thing to do was start from one side and unravel all the tape and look for a problem amd boy was I surprised at the stupidity! Damn thing is burnt up and a few inches on either side of it has rippled singed outer wire coating, no damn wander i was barely charging. Glad i found this and didnt give up would of started a damn fire! Also found some deplorable connections twisted together wires in the reverse light harness for the starter terminal. Other cut up spliced areas and not sure if the red charge wire and yellow wire fittings are factory or a better repair. it is a different style connector not a standard open butt but rather a sealed style fitting. Those seem like good repairs but wither way im buy two brand new harnesses because these are a mess.
